New version 2024-08-23
Old version 2024-07-26
Release Notes * Renamed the Set Lists button in the Add Songs popup window to Lists and changed its functionality to select from smart lists as well as set lists. Also, added All and None buttons to the Add Songs window. These changes allow you to copy an entire smart list or a portion of a smart list into a set list. * Added an option for a Quick MIDI button in the top toolbar of the set list view. If you enable this on the Edit Details page of your layout, you can use the Quick MIDI button to send any MIDI preset directly, regardless of which presets are attached to the songs in your set list. * Added support for multiple event dates and times to automate inquiring about different options for an event. You can click Add a Date/Time Option on the event edit page to add date and time options, then turn on the Require Response setting. When your bandmates view the event, they'll see all the date/time options and can respond (Accept, Maybe or Decline) to each option. When you see a consensus, you can click Use This Option to remove the other options, then turn on the Confirmed setting to notify everyone of the final date and time. * Added a Reason For Your Response field to the event edit page when you select Maybe or Declined for an event that requires a response. You can use this to briefly explain why you're not accepting an event. For example, when selecting Maybe you could explain that you'll know for sure in 24 hours, or when selecting Declined you could explain that you'd like to play that venue but aren't available on that date. Only account administrators will see your reason. • Added a conflict check when you add an event or change the date or users of an existing event. A warning will now appear if an event already exists with the same date and users. You can then edit or delete the new event, or override the warning and continue saving. • Added Skip Recording Back/Forward and Set Recording Loop Start/End actions to the Settings > App Control page. Note that the recording loop function is meant for practicing and is not accurate enough for performing. • Added Settings > Advanced > Trigger Song Completion From Duration, which is on by default for existing accounts. If you turn this off, song completion actions will only be triggered from the end of a recording, video or automation track. • Updated the main menu shortcuts to show all the set lists for an upcoming event if multiple set lists are attached to the same event. • Updated the Finance > Transactions list to use the date added as a secondary sort, so multiple transactions on the same date will appear in the order you entered them. • Simplified the Sync Status window, since the Settings > Account Sync window is now available from anywhere in the app. • On phones, moved the Done, Select and Cancel buttons for the on-screen keyboard and picker from the top toolbar to the space just above the keyboard or picker. On phones with smaller screens, this takes the place of some of the chord symbol buttons on the Lyrics, Chords and Notes fields. • Improved vertical scrolling of documents and lyrics when Settings > Advanced > Use New Scroll Logic is on. • Restored the previous functionality of broadcasting the intermediate scroll positions through Live Sharing during a manual scroll of the document or lyrics, unless Settings > Advanced > Broadcast Mid-Scroll Positions is off. • Improved the alignment of the recording loop region bar against the recording progress bar. • Stopped placing bracketed chords above lyrics in the Chords field, because the Chords field is not intended to contain lyrics. However, you can still use square brackets around chords in the Chords field to ensure chord recognition, as an alternative to placing parentheses around non-chord text. • Fixed a crash when transposing chords that use bar lines but only have one bar on a line. • Turned on Play Audio In Background and Let Other Apps Play Audio In Background by default for new installations.
